Error authenticating against Office 365. Error from Office 365:

See original GitHub issue

Hello everyone, I’m trying to upload some files to SharePoint in Office 365 but the authentication fails even though that I put the right credentials.Here’s the code:

from shareplum import Site
from shareplum import Office365
from shareplum.site import Version

#get all the csv files
csv_files = list(filter(lambda x: '.csv' in x, os.listdir('./csvfiles')))

# Office 365 Authentication
authcookie = Office365('https://tenant.sharepoint.com',
                       username='login@tenant.com', password='password').GetCookies()
site = Site('https://tenant.sharepoint.com/sites/Folder',
            version=Version.v365, authcookie=authcookie)

However, I do manage to log in and upload data with my personal account, but I can’t upload data with my organizational account Here’s the message error when I try to log with my organizational account:

raise Exception('Error authenticating against Office 365. Error from Office 365:', message[0].text)
Exception: ('Error authenticating against Office 365. Error from Office 365:', 'AADSTS50126: Error validating credentials due to invalid username or password.')

Is there any way to fix it?

Thanks in advance

So I guess the question is how do we account for multi-factor authentication?

I vote for closing this issue. Multi-factor authentication has been created to prevent automated login. If someone wants to automate data storage in SharePoint then they should ask IT Team to create exception for the login account. Trying to solve multi-factor authentication could be out of scope of your work.

Try setting verify_ssl=False in your site object. Site(verify_ssl=False)
